Travis Kelce is riding high both on and off the field, and it seems his relationship with global superstar Taylor Swift might be a key factor behind his recent confidence.
Ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs‘ crucial NFL playoff run, the 35-year-old tight end opened up about how his personal life is fueling his professional performance during a candid conversation on “The Stephen A. Smith Show” this week.
“I’ve got no complaints, man,” Kelce said with a grin. “Everything in life is clicking right now.”
While Kelce has been dominating on the field, he admitted that his relationship with Swift has been a steady source of comfort and support. “Having that confidence and comfort off the field is everything,” he shared. “Taylor and I are in a great place, and I couldn’t ask for more support in the stadium.”
When pressed by Smith on whether this newfound happiness has improved his game, Kelce didn’t hesitate to agree. “Man, I hit the jackpot in every sense,” he said. “Being in a strong relationship lets me focus on my craft and just be the best version of myself.”
Swift, who has become a familiar face at Kelce’s home games, has shown unwavering support since their relationship began last summer. Kelce has returned the favor, often making time to attend her iconic Eras Tour shows, calling them “off the chain” during the interview.
“It’s mutual,” Kelce added. “I just want to be there for her the same way she’s there for me. Whether it’s her career or her life, I want her to feel supported and comfortable.”
Kelce is focused on the task at hand
Despite the media frenzy surrounding their high-profile romance, Kelce remains laser-focused on the Chiefs’ playoff journey. As the team gears up to face the Houston Texans this Saturday, the Missouri-based star emphasized that his primary goal is delivering for his team.
“I’ve never been more locked in,” he declared. “When you’ve got everything squared away off the field, it lets you give 100 percent where it matters.”

As for Swift’s potential attendance at the game, Kelce dropped a subtle hint during a live appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show.” When asked if her presence could add some extra energy to the atmosphere, Kelce responded with a playful smirk: “Oh, you know it. It’s playoff football, baby.”
The Chiefs, who secured the No. 1 seed and a first-round bye, will enjoy home-field advantage as they aim for another shot at the AFC Championship. Whether Swift will be in the stands remains to be seen, but Kelce’s confidence suggests he’s ready to take on whatever comes next – both on and off the field.

“The current legal case is related to a misunderstanding regarding Adrian’s court appearances as it relates to child support, and he is actively working with his legal team to resolve this matter as quickly as possible,” Peterson’s publicist Denise White told the publication.
